        Christ I hate these people. I work with a guy who constantly says “You gonna tell me marketing and branding doesn’t matter? Apple is the most valuable company in the world!”

        Like that makes ANY sense…

        Clearly, the audience relishes the nostalgic flavor of HOME BOX OFFICE, and so HBO Max should be rebranded to just … HBO.

        That’ll be $20mm please.

      It’s worse:

      Asha Sharma, Xbox CEO, ran a poll on X earlier this week, asking fans whether Microsoft should use Xbox or XBOX. The results were in favor of XBOX, and the company has now renamed its X account.

    Perhaps “eXtremely Bulky Overpriced Xbox”.
